Question Number 7656 by Tawakalitu. last updated on 07/Sep/16

If  S_n  (sum of sequence) = 2n^2  + n  Find the value of the 1002 term

$${If}\:\:{S}_{{n}} \:\left({sum}\:{of}\:{sequence}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{2}{n}^{\mathrm{2}} \:+\:{n} \\ $$$${Find}\:{the}\:{value}\:{of}\:{the}\:\mathrm{1002}\:{term} \\ $$

n^(th)  term T_n =S_n −S_(n−1)   =2n^2 +n−2(n−1)^2 −(n−1)  =2n^2 +n−2n^2 +4n−2−n+1  =4n−1  T_(1002) =4×1002−1=4007

$${n}^{{th}} \:\mathrm{term}\:\mathrm{T}_{{n}} ={S}_{{n}} −{S}_{{n}−\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{2}{n}^{\mathrm{2}} +{n}−\mathrm{2}\left({n}−\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} −\left({n}−\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$$=\mathrm{2}{n}^{\mathrm{2}} +{n}−\mathrm{2}{n}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}{n}−\mathrm{2}−{n}+\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{4}{n}−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${T}_{\mathrm{1002}} =\mathrm{4}×\mathrm{1002}−\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{4007} \\ $$

S_n =2n^2 +n  t_(1002) =?  Let a and d are first term  and  common difference  of the AP.  S_n =(n/2)[2a+(n−1)d]  Let first determine sum of 2003 terms,which  will help us to determine  t_(1002)  .  S_(2003) =((2003)/2)[2a+(2003−1)d]=2(2003)^2 +2003            =[2a+2002d]=((2(2003)^2 +2003)/(2003))×2           2[a+1001d]=[2(2003)+1]×2           a+(1002−1)d=(([2(2003)+1]×2)/2)=4006+1=4007          t_(1002) =4007

Thanks but they wrote 4007 here as answer. maybe they are wrong  thanks sir.

They are right. There was a mistake in my answer.  I had multiplied by 2 instead of divided in last two steps.  I have corrected it now. Sorry for mistake!
